Black Wall Street Asheville

Our Story

Black Wall Street Asheville began in 2020 as a grassroots initiative aimed at addressing economic disparities faced by local Black businesses. With support from the NC IDEA Foundation, GRIND, LLC launched a program that initially aimed to enroll 20 Black businesses, but the response was overwhelming. A total of 74 businesses participated, generating over $1 million in revenue and creating 22 jobs. In 2021, Black Wall Street was officially incorporated as a 501c3 organization, continuing its mission to bridge economic gaps and empower people of color in business.
